Why Use Open Source Software?1.Question 1 From a business perspective, use of OSS (Select all answers that apply): 1 / 1 point  Makes marketing easier as some ingredients are already well-known and trusted Correct Actually makes marketing easier as one can emphasis use of well recognized ingredients  Makes marketing more difficult because it is hard to differentiate product Enables use of ingredients from other sources and speeds development Correct No reason everything has to be done in house Lengthens time to market, but is worth it because of improved product 2.Question 2 OSS is (Select all answers that apply): 1 / 1 point Causes security problems because developers come from different organizations and companies and do not understand each other's code Secure or insecure depending on the quality and priorities of the project maintainers, but at least users can judge this by open discussion and code inspection Correct In the end it comes down to the individuals and organizations involved Insecure because no one is in charge of security Can be more secure because many developers can easily see the code, look for problems, and mitigate problems when they are discovered Correct More eyeballs equals better mitigation Insecure, as bad actors can easily see the code and hack it 3.Question 3 For school systems at any level, use of OSS (Select all answers that apply): 1 / 1 point Can lower costs by letting older hardware be used Correct Other operating systems may need newer hardware to function. May cause problems with vendor lock-in Can lower costs by letting low-cost or free software be used Correct Absolutely the case Should be avoided, as students become confused by choices 4.Question 4 School systems can benefit from using OSS because (Select all answers that apply): 1 / 1 point Applications are flashier and have better integration with social media platforms than do proprietary ones Making things more difficult to learn at first is giving more real world experience As the world's IT infrastructure becomes more and more OSS-based, students will be better prepared to enter the work force especially as developers Correct Students may learn how to join projects and contribute from an early age or stage in their education Correct Students can more easily learn about how things really work as compared to using closed source operating systems and applications Correct 5.Question 5 Developers working in OSS will: 1 / 1 point  Have to spend a lot of useless time cleaning up their code since more eyeballs will see it Will often find it harder to get good jobs because employers will not be sure what parts of the project were contributed by the developer candidate Will have to spend a lot of time undergoing unnecessary critical review of their code even though they know it is perfect  Will often find it easier to get good jobs because their work will be more open to inspection Correct The more one can show their actual work, the better |
